A/N- I'm back with the new chapter to this story. Thank you for all the reviews. This is going better than I expected. I just want to remind everyone that I have a new chapter for Turning Point up if you haven't already seen it. I'll have Bling updated too this week and I might start a new story depending on what I do.
"Tay let's take a walk," Chad said grabbing Taylor by the hand.
She pulled away first but with hesitation took Chad's hand and walked with him.
"That's right come closer I promise I won't eat you," Chad joked.
"I'm coming," Taylor said, "Where are we going?"
"Hey Chad why are you leaving your party?" Troy called out from the house.
"Bang!" went something inside the house.
"Could you and the guys watch it for a little while until I get back!" Chad yelled from the street.
"Anyway as I was saying before I was interrupted we are going to walk to the park."
"The one right down the street."
"Yeah they have everything there, I mean slides, swings, teeter-tots,"
"Um Chad what are you doing at the park?" Taylor asked cutting him off.
"Well I often have to baby sit my little sister because my mom and dad both work and my brother is too busy being a 15 year old."
"Cool I didn't even know you had siblings."
"Yeah you have any?"
"Yeah I have a little sister who's 10."
"Maybe we can baby-sit together sometime."
Taylor smiled and said, "Yeah I'd like that a lot."
"Only thing is that my sister gets on my nerves. She is such a tattle-tell. She goes in my room and goes through my stuff!"
"So I take it you don't want to have kids," Taylor said laughing.
"Well I wouldn't mind having them with you. They might be quiet, smart, and mysterious like you," Chad whispered.
"Or they could be loud, stupid, and obnoxious like you," Taylor said.
"Now that really hurt," Chad said grabbing his heart.
"I doubt it we will even stay together that long," Taylor said taking a seat on the bench at the park.
"Well why not," Chad replied taking a seat next to her.
"I don't know this whole thing between me and you feels weird," Taylor said messing with her rings.
"I don't quite understand what you mean," Chad said wrapping his arms around hers.
"Well I know I never told you and tried not to show it but all those hurtful things you and your friends said to me really hurt me. You know all the ugly duckling and nerd comments really cut deep. I always had a crush on you but you were always the main one saying mean things about me. I never really even understood why either. It's like you set your mind to hate me and make my life a living hell," Taylor said softly.
"I'm sorry," Chad said watching as the tears fell from her eyes.
"Can you tell me why you chose me?" Taylor asked.
"I don't know, I guess I sort of liked you too. You were just really smart and to tell you the truth I was sort of intimidated. I knew I could never be as smart as you. Then when I saw you in class and saw how smart you were I knew that I could never get a date with me and that angered me because I am used to having all the girls I want. So then I just made fun of you to conceal my anger. I know it may sound stupid and it's no excuse for the way I treated you. I am sincerely sorry for what I did. Will you please forgive me Tay, Tay?" Chad said starting to tickle her.
"Yes, Chad I forgive you," Taylor said laughing.
He poked her in the stomach and she laughed again. "Wow you are severely ticklish," Chad said teasing her.
A gust of wind blew by and Taylor shivered. She was mentally kicking herself for not wearing a jacket. She hated being cold and was really shaking. Chad noticed her shivering and wrapped his jacket around her shoulders.
"Thanks Chad," Taylor said putting her arms through the sleeves.
"You're welcomed it looked like you were having a seizure over there," Chad laughed.
"Shut up," Taylor said hitting him in the arm. She then got up and walked over to a swing.
"Push me Chad!" she yelled across the park. Chad got up and walked over to her.
"You are such a baby," Chad said pushing her gently.
"You big strong basketball man this is hardest you can push me," Taylor said.
"Are you sure you want me to push you hard," Chad said hesitantly.
"Do it!" Taylor screamed.
Chad pushed her hard and fast. She went high up into the sky and she flew like a bird. She jumped off the swing and landed straight onto her feet. Chad couldn't believe what he saw. He stood there like an idiot and stared. Taylor walked back to him and pushed the swing until it hit him in the chest.
"Earth to Chad," Taylor laughed.
"Oh sorry," Chad said with his mouth still open.
"Are you surprised?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah I really am," Chad said taking a seat on the swing.
"I'm not just some science geek. I am a normal person. I liked to have fun too," Taylor said.
"I know," Chad said pulling her down on his lap.
"I know you told me you liked me but when did you really actually start liking me?" Taylor said.
"I started liking you really the first time I saw you. You were pretty and different, you know not the normal skinny cheerleader. You have the curve thing going on and I really find that sexy," Chad said, "When did you start liking me?"
"I first started liking you when I saw you play basketball. You had never noticed me then but I saw you play and I thought you looked so good on the court that I just had a big crush."
"Then I went and messed it up. If I hadn't picked on you and I had just asked you out earlier would you have said yes?"
"Yes, I would have died in happiness," Taylor said.
"I'm really sorry I messed things up," Chad said.
"It's okay we were going to get together some way anyhow." Taylor said hugging him. Taylor took in his sweet scent. She snuggled into his arms and felt like she could stay there forever. She felt safe in his arms. He took her face in his hands and kissed her like never before. Taylor wraps her arms around his neck and starts to tickle his back. He starts laughing so she tickles him under the arms and on his stomach until he looses his balance and falls backward letting Taylor fall forward onto her feet.
"You are in big trouble!" Chad says and then gets up and tackling her in the mulch giving her a tickle attack too. She laughs hysterically as he continues to tickle her until he sees the blood on her hand and stops.
"Taylor you're bleeding!" Chad says picking her up and taking her over to the bench where they were sitting before.
"Chad put me down I'm fine it doesn't even hurt," Taylor kicks.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Chad asked concerned.
"Chad I'm fine. Why are you so worried about a splinter?"
"I just don't ever want to hurt you again."
"Don't worry about it so much," Taylor says wrapping her arm around his shoulder.
"It's starting to get late maybe we should head back," Chad says.
"Yeah you're right we sh," Taylor says stopping to answer her phone.
"Oh hey Gabi!" Taylor says walking a couple steps away from him.
"Thanks Gabi," Chad mumbles as he walks along.
"Oh my Gabi I will have to tell you all about it!" Chad hears Taylor say.
Chad continues to walk back hearing everything Taylor says. He starts thinking about what it would be like to make love to each other. He had played it in his head many, many times but he knew nothing could compare to the real thing.
"Bye Gabi I'll see you when we get back," Chad hears Taylor finally hanging up.
"Bout time you hung up that damn phone," Chad says only half joking.
"Sorry but Gabi called and you know we have to talk!" Taylor says.
Chad runs up to her and tickles her again until she falls on someone's lawn. Taylor starts to cough uncontrollably. Chad hits her on the back but she starts wheezing. Chad starts to get scared so he starts panicking and runs away to find help. Taylor finally takes control of her and uses her inhaler. She notices Chad is gone and sits down until she can catch enough breath to walk back to his house. By the time she gets there she is super pissed he left her there alone having an asthma attack in the dark. She storms in the house and grabs her coat and is ready to go. She opens the door and runs right into Chad.
"Taylor what are you doing back here? We thought something bad happened to you. Are you okay? I didn't know what was going on so I ran back to get help."
Taylor felt stupid and she tried to hide her coat and keys but he noticed.
"Were you about to leave?"
"Yes, I was but I'm not anymore. I thought you just left me there to die," Taylor said.
"I would never leave you hurt!" Chad said hugging her, "Now come on and lets get back to the party."
"Okay," Taylor says taking Chad's arm.
"Okay now if you haven't gotten on the dance floor yet this is your chance get out there and dance!" the DJ said. He played Buy You a Drink by T-Pain.
All of the couples got on the dance floor and started dancing on each other. Chad held Taylor's hips as she grinded against him to the beat until the song was over.
"Okay now everyone it's time to get gone. She get your shit and leave!" Chad screamed over the microphone. Everyone began to pile out until the only people left were Troy, Gabriella, Chad, Taylor, and the people who were drunk and had passed out on the floor.
Chad and Troy got all the drunken people up to leave while the girls talked to each other about their nights.
"Tay Troy and I are going out to the limo," Gabriella said.
Taylor walked around until she found Chad in the kitchen cleaning up. She decided to help him clean up and started throwing half eaten pizza slices. She was sweeping up some junk off the floor when Chad backs right into her making her fall and knock over the trash can.
"I'm sorry I didn't know you were there," Chad says helping her up.
"This is like the hundredth time you've said sorry tonight," Taylor said smiling.
"You don't have to help clean this junk Troy will help me," Chad says volunteering Troy.
"I sort of have to be home by 12 and it's 11:30 now so I was thinking maybe you could drop me off first," Taylor said.
"Oh shit!' Chad screams looking at the clock, "I'm sorry I really want to get you home on time let's go."
"And this is like the twentieth time I've been pulled, pushed, or shoved," Taylor says as Chad pulls her.
"Ooh sorry," Chad says as they get in the limo.
"What took you guys so long?" Gabriella asked annoyed, "We've been in this limo waiting forever I have to get home before my mother freaks out!"
"I know what you guys were doing," Troy whispers to Chad.
"Naw man it wasn't even like that," Chad says.
On the ride home the girls feel asleep right in the guys arms. They covered them up with the blankets they had and let them sleep on their laps.
"So what happened with you and Taylor at the park today?" Troy asked.
"We just hung out," Chad said.
"That's it nothing special happened," Troy says.
"No well we had a little talk about some things, I kissed her again, and then I tickled her."
"My little Chad is growing up. You think Taylor's the one?"
"Yeah I honestly do. You think Gabriella's the one?"
"Of course."
"Speaking of Gabi here's her stop." Chad said.
Troy picked her up and carried her to the door.
"I had a really good time tonight Troy," Gabriella said.
"Me too, I really want to do this again sometime," Troy said.
"I'd really like that," Gabriella said.
"Me too," Troy said kissing her. They stood there making out for a good 3 minutes before Chad had the limo driver honk the horn. "Hurry up!" Chad yelled out the window.
Troy got back in the car and hit Chad upside the head. "Dude why do you always mess everything up?"
"I have to get Taylor home by 12 and it's 11:45. You can kiss Gabi some other time. Limo driver step on it!"
"Calm down we'll get there," Troy said.
"Yeah so what did you and Gabi do while we were gone," Chad asked.
"Well we hung out nothing big. We kissed a couple times but I mostly chilled with the guys while she hung out with Sharpay talking about hair and nails," Troy said.
"I feel for you," Chad said patting him on the shoulder.
"Well I hope you are happy because we are here and it's only 11:55."
Chad shakes Taylor to wake her up but it doesn't work. "Oh God," Chad says and then shakes her a little harder. She still doesn't wake up so he tickles her until she gets up. He then picks her up and carries her to the door.
"Thanks Chad," Taylor says.
"For what?"
"This night. It was the most fun I have had in a while. I'm really glad we got to open up to each other too," Taylor says unlocking the door. She starts to walk in but Chad pulls her arm and kisses her. They kiss until she hears a loud honk of a horn and gets startled.
"Well I'm right on time so I better get in the house before my mom comes looking for me," Taylor says giving him one more peck on the cheek.
A/N- Well I hope you liked this chapter. It was in the middle of long and short. I still have to school and I have to get up early so it's my bedtime. You know the drill review please. In the next chapter Taylor's going to get a surprise visit and they are going to hang out at the beach together. So more reviews I get the sooner I'll post again.
